Recapping the FSU Match...
Duke outshot Florida State, 19-14, but the Seminoles netted a first half goal that ended up being enough to take down the Blue Devils in the ACC opener on Thursday, 1-0. Head coach Robbie Church was not happy with his Blue Devils’ effort in the first half. Duke came out and outshot FSU, 10-6, in the second but couldn’t get anything past a stingy FSU defense. The Blue Devils lost for the sixth straight time at Florida State and has not won in Tallahassee since 1999.
